I have a 2012 Cube Analog 29'er which I use on a daily commute to and from work and when time and weather permits I take off road as well. I am looking to do the British Heart Foundation London to Brighton off-road Charity ride later this year and want this bike to last a while.
Spec of the bike here....... http://www.escapebikeshop.com/2012-cube ... -29er.html
I have already replaced the crank, chain, and cassette for the following:
KMC Chains X9 93 9 Speed Chain Each - 116 Links - Silver/Grey
Shimano Cranksets - MTB Deore M590 Triple Chainset 175mm - 22.32.44t - 68/73mm - Black
Shimano Cassettes - MTB HG50 9 Speed MTB Cassette Each - 11-34
Pedals were also replaced for some Odyssey flat pedals.
I am looking at an air fork and wheels/tyres but have no clue about what good I could make from spending a lot of money on a new wheels......plus what to get. Can anyone tell me the pro's/con's about replacing my wheels, and what sort of performance I can expect to see.
Fork I am looking at is the Rock Shox Recon Silver TK Solo Air Forks - 29" 2013. Although I want it in white but seem only to be able to find it in black.

Should I get the Recon Silver TK Air Fork first ?
or
Mavic TN317 2013 rims with Shimano XT hubs ???
Are the Mavic's with XT hubs any good ?0 -
Fork first - the one you have is awful, this will make a huge difference! However I'd spend more and get a Reba.
These are good wheels, but not enough of an upgrade over what you have to warrant the buy. Put the money towards the fork?0 -
Thanks0
